Crop Drop – 20,000 lbs of Sweet Potatoes, Saturday
The Center for University-Based Development at JSU will be hosting a “Crop Drop” on Saturday, April 8, from 9 a.m. to Noon. The location of the “Crop Drop” is 1311 W. Pearl Street in the parking lot in front of Blackburn Middle School.
A “Crop Drop” is a gathering of excess crops dropped off at a central location. For this “Crop Drop” we will be giving away 20,000 lbs of sweet potatoes to the community for free.
JSU students will bag 10 pound bags of sweet potatoes and they will give one bag of potatoes per person. The community residents just need to drive up and the produce will be placed in their car.
This event is a collaboration between the Society of St. Andrew, Blue Key Honor Society, Alice Varnado Harden Center for Service and Engaged Learning, and the Center for University-Based Development.
Please see flyer and map below.
